As I am using an SSD, I thought it would be a good idea to use nLite on my XP Pro SP2 to intergrate the SP3 and other recent updates.

For some reason, when I format the drive and installation starts, I get an error. It happens when the PC reboots from DOS and into WIndows to do the second part of the installation. I have had 2 different errors, 1 saying something about the lack Virtual Memory and another saying something about the Pagefile (they flash up so quick I don't have time to write them down). I tried using my standard SP2 disc and it carried on the install as normal with no errors.

I have attached a copy of my Last Session to help you solve the problem. I have tried changing lots of things and it just wont get past this stage.

It seems you haven't ;-)

Welcome to MSFN

Edit: this is probably what you're getting http://www.msfn.org/...__1#entry790491 , but Last Session.ini would still be the ground point for us. I also hope you haven't run nLite more than once on the same XP source.

scottp, you also need to remove IE8 updates since you did not install IE8. There is no automatic notify when a post is replied to here. I have never looked but you may be able to enable some such function. If you have further trouble with your install, then remove all updates and see how it goes. Also, always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders and run nLite only one time doing all your work. Enjoy, John.

Ah, I thought just after I had posted that reply, is there a simple way to explain how to intergrate IE8 and WMP11? I had a look and found it a little confusing! If so, I will try and intergrate that and then see what happens, then, like you say, get rid of the updates if not (something I was trying to avoid as I am using an SSD, so want to limit the amount of writes as much as possible!)

Yes, there are ready-made add-ons for IE8 which you can download (just search the forums or even Google), and there is an integrator for WMP11 here http://www.msfn.org/..._hl__integrator which you run on the XP source BEFORE you start with nLite.

PS. I can't seem to find how to remove Windows Messenger and Games, as I always get rid of these straight away! And if I could remove Windows Movie Maker that would be great, never used it and never plan to!

Also, is there any way I can set the install up so it is optimal for the SSD out of the box, or will I just have to wait until the install?

See this nLite picture guide from the same website http://win-x.co.cc/nliteimages.html
You can find Movie Maker in the Components section (pic #12 in the guide), but I'm not sure exactly where (try Multimedia, so that I don't have to fire up nLite and get the exact place where they can be found). Games are found under Components->Applications, but you can't just remove Internet games; it will all have to go. I'm pretty sure Windows Messenger is there as well, just browse carefully through the categories in Components.
You know what this means - you'll have to do everything all over again. This time use the Last Session.ini you are satisfied with and add a few more things, like the updates.

scottp, I suggest you need a base to work from. After installing a virtual system to test your ISOs, please create one with nLite having no updates or AddOns. Install it on your VM and see if there is a problem. Also consider an Update Pack for all your post SP3 updates. Add in the updates and test. Then add all your AddOns and test. Narrow down the problem if it crops up. The free virtual systems I am aware of are VMware Player, VirtualBox and VirtualPC. Be sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders and run nLite only once doing all your work. Enjoy, John.

there is a delay, when you open my docs it takes a couple of seconds

It really could be anything; for example, I always get that from my anti-virus (Avira Personal) that has a "Scan on Access" function, meaning it won't let you click/run anything without checking it first.

It still seems overall a very slow computer (which considering the spec, it shouldnt be!)

I am also struggling the the Picture settings on my TV, as when plugged in via HDMI, the picture is terrible, colour wise.

If you could point me in the direction on how to set that up, that would also be great.

Thanks

Scott

scottp, I have not reread all your thread, but have some questions. I see you included no drivers, so, how did you install them? Have you run nLite more than once against the same source? You should always start with a fresh copy of your files/folders and run nLite only once doing all your work. Running nLite more than once can lead to many strange symptoms but I have never heard of performance problems. What video card do you have and what driver are you using? I run XP x64, so don't know much about 32 bit updates, but I am concerned about yours, including ones converted into .cab files. You might want to consider going to an Update Pack and dropping the media player updates and see if your performance problems decline. Enjoy, John.
